Formulas for the Computation of Sound Speed in Sea Water Available to Purchase

Equations are presented for the computation of sound speed that are designed to agree with Kuwahara's tables. These are in general use for the mass reduction of oceanographic data. The equations give the temperature, salinity, depth, and latitude dependence and the interaction effects due to the simultaneous variation of temperature, salinity, and depth. Some in situ measurements utilizing the bathyscaph are presented.
